I've run from these feelings for so long
Telling my heart i didn't need you
Pretending i was better off alone
But i know that it's just a lie
So afraid to take a chance again
So afraid of what i'd feel inside

But i need to be next to you (need to be next to you)
Oh i, oh i
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you)
Oh i, oh i
I need to know i can see you smiling each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life

Here with you, near with you
Oh i
I need to be next to you
Need to be – next to you

Right here with you is right where i belong
I'll lose my mind if i can't see you
Without you there is nothing in this life
That would make life worth living for
I can't bear the thought of you not here
I can't fight what i feel anymore

'cause i need to be next to you (need to be next to you)
Oh i, oh i
I need to share every breath with you (share every breath with you)
Oh i, oh i
I need to know i can see you smiling each morning
Look into your eyes each night
For the rest of my life

Here with you, near with you
Oh i
I need to be next to you

I need to have your heart next to mine
For all the time
Hold you for all my life
I need to be next to you

I need to be next to you (to be next to you)
Oh i, oh i
Need to be, need to be next to you
Share every breath with you
Oh, oh i
I need to feel you in my arms, babe (oh...)
In my arms, babe (oh i...)
I need to be next to you
Oh i, oh i
(oh i...)
